Default Rims

Looking to purchase some new rims for my red 2005 IS300.
Probably looking for 17" would maybe think about 18"
It'd be nice to be able to fit a tire bigger than a 225x9.5 on the car
I was thinking white rims, yes I know they'll get dirty easily, black rims are a possibility but it seems like everyone goes with black rims these days
If anybody has any rim ideas for me I'd really appreciate it

LET ME KNOW OF ANY IDEAS

What look are u goin for would help people identify which rims size and offset would look good on ur car. also list mods u have aka springs/coilovers. slammed/stock height, lip/concave, or u can look at the fitment thread that has everyones fitment /rims listed with pics so u can see the measurements and how it looks on ur ride.

you can go to the wheel/tire forsale section and see what folks have on their cars.

I've decided already to stick with 17" rims, they just seem like the easier and better choice for me. Really want either white or gun metal rims, i think they'll look the best on the red lexus. Looking for a stock offset (not sure what that is on the is300) Going to be putting coilovers on the car over summer, was thinking tein, unless anybody has an opinion on something better for the price. Thanks for the reply's
